Triage Inbound Support Tickets from Slack into Linear

When a support request lands in a Slack channel, automatically extract the key details, create a tracked issue in Linear with the right priority and label, and post a confirmation thread back to the reporter so nothing falls through the cracks.

How the workflow runs

The scenario uses specific integration tools at each step, while Metorial keeps access scoped and visible.

  1. 1

    Read the support channel

    Retrieve recent messages from the designated Slack support channel to identify new inbound requests.

    • slack:get_conversation_history
  2. 2

    Classify and prepare issue data

    Parse the message content to extract the reporter, description, and urgency level, then map to Linear priority and label values.

    • linear:list_labels
    • linear:list_workflow_states
  3. 3

    Create a Linear issue

    Open a new issue in the relevant Linear team with the extracted title, description, priority, and label.

    • linear:create_issue
  4. 4

    Confirm back in Slack

    Reply in the original thread with the Linear issue link so the reporter knows their request is tracked.

    • slack:send_message
